Sweden is preparing for the final to select its representative for the Eurovision 2016.

We are inching closer towards the Eurovision 2016, which will be held in May, and while preparing for the event, several countries that are participating in the song contest have been holding national competitions to choose their representatives. Meanwhile, some other nations have already chosen their representatives and are airing their song presentations.

Croatia and San Marino will be presenting their songs on Wednesday, March 9, while Greece will present its song on Thursday, March 10. Croatia's song presentation will be broadcast live via HRT, while SMRTV will be airing San Marino's song presentation. Greece, the country that was victorious in the 2005 Eurovision song contest, will be broadcasting its song presentation via NERIT and ERT.

Sweden will choose its representative for Stockholm via the competition melodifestivalen 2016, which has been organised by Sveriges Television.
